I really wanted to sew the other day.
Gathered some fabric scraps, wanted to make myself a little keychain.
Snuggled in with my old singer.
Nothing.
Checked to make sure everything was plugged in.
Still nothing.
Unplugged them and re-plugged.
Dead.
Checked the outlet.
Fan worked.
Third time's the charm right?
Nope.
Must look on the bright side.
Had it for a long time.
Sewed quilts,and crafts,
patched lots of barn pants.
Miles of stitching, I'm sure.
Was a cheap machine to start with.
It did well.
I had my fun.
I will save for another one.
just had to put new brakes and calibers in my car :(
had a tractor repair bill of over $9000, yup. that's thousand :(
had our daughter's wedding in April :)
my son is getting married in 19 days! :)
(my hubby got new suit. he looks so sazzy in it :)
And I got one of my dresses on sale, the other one on clearance :)
oops, I got distracted...
Don't see a new machine anytime soon.
Maybe I will unplug it and plug it again one more time, just to make sure.
Get a vintage machine. Have people who love you look for them at yard sales and thrift stores. Kenmores with serial #s beginning with 158 are wonderful as are old black Necchis and Singer 15-XX and 301s etc. Avoid plastic machines made after 1980. All those machines are work horses!
ReplyDeletethanks! I have had it with the new technology, lol. All I want is to sew a straight line :)
